"And I come back to you now, at the turn of the tide"

Saturday, September 21, 2002

A good line from Maureen Dowd in her sunday column:

As my girlfriend Dana said: "Bush is like the guy who reserves a hotel room and then asks you to the prom."


Of course, referring to Bush's "case" for Iraq. The more interesting implications she tackles are that an Iraq war would constitute a continuation of the "culture wars" which came to their previous peak in the 90's, only it appears the warriors have replaced their prior target (President Clinton) with Saddam Hussein. That's two mentions of the culture wars in a day and a half, the prior being the trip down memory lane in Phile Donahue's friday interview with Matt Lauer and Katie Couric of the "Today" show.
